The next ten streets may not be the most beautiful in the world, but the streets with the most distinguished records: the longest, the shortest, the widest, the hottest, etc.

Magic roundabout: most confusing roundabout

The town of Swindon in England is full of roundabouts, but there is one that jumps out, the “Magic Roundabout”.Why is the roundabout so magical?Well, the thing consists in itself of five loose roundabouts!Try to get back to it without a magic.

Longest roundabout in the world: 3.4 kilometers!

Another special roundabout we find in Putrajaya, Malaysia, this is 3.4 kilometers long, the longest roundabout in the world.If you want to drive this round once, look for the signs “Persiaran Sultan Salahuddin Abdul Aziz Shah Street”.

Longest street in the world: 1,896 kilometers

The longest street in the world can be found in Canada.The Yonge street is 1,896 kilometers long and connects Lake Ontario (Toronto) with Lake Simcoe (access to the Upper Great Lakes ).The street has an entry in the Guinness World Record book.

Longest Highway in the World: 14,500 kilometers

A little longer, with a length of no less than 14,500 kilometers, is Highway 1 in Australia.This is the longest highway in the world.The highway is about all of Australia.This highway is therefore longer than the Trans-Siberian Highway (11,000 kilometers) and the Trans-Canada Highway (8.030 kilometers).

Wide street in the world: 110 meters

The widest street we find in Buenes Aires (Argentina), the street is 110 meters wide.When you want to cross this road as a pedestrian, take the time, all the intersections have traffic lights.

Steepest street in the world: 35%

Baldwin Street in New Zealand is seen as the tallest in the world (inhabited road then, in the mountains, there are still steeper roads).The street is only 350 meters long, but rises in that short stretch of 70 meters, especially the last piece is very style, the slope is about 35% here.

Busiest street

Lombard Street in San Francisco, to the top of the “Russian Hill”, is known as the most winding street in the world.In San Francisco there are of course a lot of steep slopes, this piece was so steep that it was too dangerous for most vehicles to go straight down.Therefore, in 1922, it was decided to build this winding road.In only 400 meters, eight sharp hairpin bends must be taken, the maximum speed is therefore 5 miles (8 km) per hour.Currently the street is mainly a tourist attraction plaster.

Greatest highway junction

Judge Harry Pregerson Intersection in Los Angeles is one of the most complicated highway junctions in the world.Two major highways, the I-110 and the I-105 come together here and apparently four levels are needed to guide this!

Ebenezer Palace, in Wick Scotland, is in the Guinness record book as the shortest street in the world.The street is only 2.06 meters long, and there is therefore only one address, the front door of No.1 Bistro, part of Mackays Hotel.The street dates from 1883 when Ebenezer Palace was built.The owner of the building was instructed to dye a name on the side of his hotel, in 1887 a street name was made here.
